Newly-formed mixed martial arts promotion
Legacy Fighting Alliance announced Friday afternoon that its
third event is headed to the Bayou in February. LFA CEO Ed Soares
revealed that middleweights Ryan Spann
and Trevin
Giles will headline LFA 3, which takes place Feb. 10 at the
Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Lake Charles, La.

Giles, an undefeated prospect on the verge of taking that next step
to the big time, has already headline shows for both the
Resurrection Fighting Alliance and
Legacy Fighting Championship this year. When he takes on Spann,
he’ll become the only man in history to headline those events and
an LFA card.

“I think it’s an honor to fight for the LFA in the main event. It
means you’re doing something right,” stated Giles. “Ryan Spann is a
tough guy and a good opponent, but I’m not impressed with his will.
It can be broken in a fight and it’s just a matter of time before I
do at LFA 3. On February 10th, I will become the first person to
win main events for RFA, Legacy FC, and LFA.”

Spann, meanwhile, is hoping to get his career back on track. He’s
just 1-2 in his last three, with his last bout ending up with
Robert
Drysdale submitting him in the second via rear-naked choke at
Legacy FC 58 in July. He said that Giles is the perfect opponent
for him to get things going in the right direction.

“This is a fight I’ve been wanting”, stated an excited Spann. “I
wanted to fight someone with a lot of hype, who can also bring in a
big crowd like myself. I want to get Trevin
Giles out of my way now and then get a title shot. I don’t like
undefeated records and I’m going to be the one to change that for
him on February 10th.”

LFA will be televised live on AXS TV beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m.
PT. Additional bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.
